Chinos

Gap exists in every woman’s wardrobe between jeans and tailored trousers. Chinos fill that gap better than just about anything. They aren’t as casual as denim. They aren’t as stiff as a suit pant. Instead they exist in that glorious middle ground where actually life happens. That school run that evolves into lunch with a friend. That Friday office outfit that will need to last for drinks after work. The weekend that is often busier than your week. Chinos can do every one of those things without asking very much of you in return. The problem is womens chinos have traditionally been an afterthought. Cut like menswear with a slight slit up the side to accommodate hips and considered finished. We do not accept that. Here we have curated chinos that know a woman’s shape, have waistbands that actually sit on the waist, a seat that doesn’t gape and a leg line that actually looks like it was meant to be. Tailoring is everything with a trouser like this. Chinos rely on their proportions more than most. They can’t hide poor construction or flawed fabrics underneath a loud print or luxurious material like some pants can. Speaking of fabrics, that’s important too. The best chinos have just a bit of stretch that you don’t really notice, a heaviness that doesn’t lose its shape over the course of your day and a finish that won’t crease when you bend over to grab your kids socks off the floor. We have held ours to that standard. These should take you from morning to night without complaining and every pair in this edit has been curated with that thought in mind. Lastly color. Chinos are the workhorse for a reason but they truly shine when it comes to color. A warm tan or tried and true khaki will pair with just about everything in your closet. A deep blue or olive brings an outfit up a notch with minimal effort. We have options that hit both notes because the best closets are built with pieces that mix and match with each other and chinos are some of the best mixing garments you can own. You will find chinos that fit right, colors that you will actually want to wear and brands that have paid attention to a shape that deserves it. These aren’t just to fill a hole in your wardrobe. You will reach for these when you want to look like you thought about your outfit but actually didn’t. Which is most days.
